Live Irish Music Welcome for the Beaver Island Boat
Posted: Sat Aug 13, 2022 5:21 pm
Dear Beaver Island musicians, I've heard that there used to be a tradition here that when ferry passengers arrived at the port of St. James, they received 1000 welcomes in the form of live Irish music being played on the pier for them. I'm interested in reviving this tradition with other island musicians (e.g. guitar, fiddle, drum, flute, accordion) of all ages. If you're inspired to join me, please reach out to me via personal email (davidhi5@yahoo.com). If we have enough interest and can get organized, I would next contact the Beaver Island Boat Company to inquire if we can have permission to gather on the dock for the purpose of welcoming boat passengers with live music — primarily Irish tunes.
Thank you, David Hill
